Software Update Revisions

The revision 46 and 47 installations were missing some additional required runtime libraries. This installation will provide them.

47

01/17/2018

New features and improvements:

If the editor background is set to dark, the text cursor color will change to white so you can still see it.

Bug Fixes:

Fixed problem with intersecting interfaces in fluid flow models. If they were on the same side the point of intersection would get a saturation of 2.0. If they were on opposite sides the pore pressure and saturation would go to 0.0.

46

01/13/2018

New Features and Improvements:

Selected parts of the Help documentation are now available in printable PDF form in the HelpExcerpts folder in the install directory, as well as on www.itascacg.com.

Bug Fixes:

Revert a change to the constitutive model interface that broke binary compatibility of user defined models.

Fixed a bug in the save/restore of free-field boundary conditions. Because there was missing data, save files created using free-field boundaries before this update cannot continue to be cycled.

Fixed a bug in the setup of free-field boundaries if a dynamic velocity condition was being imposed on the base instead of a stress-based one.

Fixed a possible crash bug when using the GEOMETRY DISTANCE range element.

45

01/08/2018

Bug Fixes:

Correction to the calculation to update the saturation of an unsaturated node when subjected to mechanical volume changes.

Fix possible crash using the BEGIN keyword in a HISTORY EXPORT command.

44

12/14/2017

Bug Fixes:

Fixed tolerance issue in the geometry check to see if a point falls inside a 2D or 3D triangle. This could address occasional incorrect results of geometric filtering.

Prevented the progress dialog that appears during isosurface generation from interrupting the Generate Movie Frames process.

Fixed problem in structural link target selection if the elements have been cycled.

Fixed problem in structural link target selection if an embedded liner had a sharp corner (greater than 40 degrees).

43

12/12/2017

New features and improvements:

Added CSV export support to Beam, Cable, and Pile contour plots.

Added error message if structural element logic is set to use Rayleigh damping during static cycling.

Improved speed of FISH processing by a factor of 2 or more, depending on the circumstances.

Bug Fixes:

If a fluid/thermal property plot property name was not recognized by the fluid or thermal model, the plot would add tensor options and tensor labeling.

Corrected typos in the STRAIN-TENSILE-PLASTIC property in the BURGERS-MOHR and SOFTENING-UBIQUITOUS models.

The map.value intrinsic returns 0 instead of causing an error if the key is not found.

FISH string arguments processed on the command line were incorrectly changed to all lower case.

39

10/29/2017

New features and improvements:

Structural element plot items now detect if multiple markers are at the same location (nodes or links) and indicates all component-id numbers in the information box. If a query is performed in this case, a menu is given with the list of ID numbers present to allow you to choose which one to query.

Bug Fixes:

Starting with revision 35, a bug was introduced that caused all zones assigned internal tetrahedra *after the first tetra-type zone encountered* to be given only one overlay. This has been fixed.

As it happens Griddle grid files put all the tetra-type zones last, so the vast majority of problems are unaffected by this issue.

The Generate Movie Frame dialog could suspend when a progress dialog was shown while processing a data file.

The SWELL model has been modified to calculate the initial vertical stress using the total zone average, rather than the first tetra.

Fixed a typo in the STRUCT.LINK.HISTORY command, fixed a typo in the keyword DISPLACEMENT-ROTATIONAL-Y.

The size of points (used in geometry node plotting, for example) and lables (used as axis location indicators in a scalebox, for example) will now scale automatically if the plot resolution is increased.
